Some are 2 piece and some are 3 piece, that's about it really. Oh and cat and no cat I'd have thought would be different.

All E30 exhausts have the same mounting points to the body, except for very late tourings (and M3), so any complete 325 exhaust will fit if you include the manifold.
If you want to retain your existing manifold, you need to check the flange between it and the exhaust downpipes, of which there appears to be three types.
